Editorial Review:Description:In the wealthy, seaside community of Neptune, California, the rich and powerful make the rules. Unfortunately for them, there's Veronica Mars, a smart, fearless 17-year-old apprentice private investigator dedicated to solving the town's toughest mysteries. Veronica used to be one of the popular girls, but it all came crumbling down around her after her best friend, Lilly, was murdered, and her then-sheriff father, Keith, was removed from office for naming Lilly's rich father as the lead suspect. During the day, Veronica must negotiate high school like any average teenage girl. But at night, she helps with her father's struggling, new private investigator business--and what she finds may tear the town of Neptune apart at the seams.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer,
Veronica Mars is
The O.C. as penned by Raymond Chandler. Veronica (Kristen Bell,
Deadwood) is Nancy Drew by way of Lauren Bacall, while Neptune makes Peyton Place look like Mayberry. The first season begins in the aftermath of a dizzying array of cataclysmic events: Her best friend, Lilly (Amanda Seyfried), was murdered, her sheriff father was fired over his handling of the case, she was sexually assaulted, and her mother left. Since then, Keith Mars (Enrico Colantoni,
Just Shoot Me) has become a private eye and drafted Veronica as his assistant. She may lack Buffy's physical prowess, but the 'tiny blonde one' turns out to have a special talent for sleuthing. In the wake of her sophomore year, the popular crowd abandoned Veronica--even boyfriend Duncan (Teddy Dunn), Lilly's brother. (Hence the theme song: 'We Used to Be Friends.') Veronica is on her own until she meets Wallace (Percy Daggs III), the only student unfamiliar with her past, unlike Duncan's sarcastic pal, Logan (Jason Dohring), one of her more ardent foes. He was Lilly's boyfriend and his father is movie star Aaron Echolls (Harry Hamlin). By the end of her junior year, Veronica and Logan will make their peace, but it won't be so easy to win over the school--let alone the town. Throughout the season, Veronica will solve several mysteries both big and small--including the murder of Lilly Kane. But a few questions remain. For instance, at the end of the season finale, Veronica opens the door to greet an unseen visitor with 'I was hoping it would be you.' So who was it? Fortunately, UPN renewed the critically acclaimed (if ratings challenged) teen noir and that tantalizing question will be answered in the second season premiere.

Region 1 vs. Region 2
Hi,
I really liked the dvd!
For all the European people : I'm from Belgium and normally, the site says I probably can only play region 2 DVD's, but I was able to play this DVD, which is regio 1. So don't worry and just buy the DVD, because it's lots cheaper than in Europe ...
Bye

Great first season
Veronica Mars was a well written show that was killed before its time. Kirsten Bell is hot and smart and not unlike a revisioned Nancy Drew. A snob of a girl that reforms and takes on the cases of her classmates. Veronica Mars's first season is fast paced and pulls you in with a collection of great stories woven into a larger picture. Once season one is done you will jump to buy season two.

AWESOME SEASON!!!
Veronica Mars, season 1 absolutely rocks!! I love it how her and Logan get together even though from the start you wouldn't be able to picture it!! Sucks how they leave you with a cliff hanger for the final episode but you can kind of guess who it is-Logan-I think. Now all I have to do is wait for Amazon to finally deliver seasons 2 & 3 and I'll be set-wont see me for a week...
